As the eyes of all America are turned towards this truly great and good man for the first President I took the liberty of sounding him upon it. He appeare to be earnestly against going into public life again ; pleads in excuse for himself his love of retirement and his advanced age, but notwithstanding of these, I am fully of opinion he may be induced to appear once more on the publick sta...ge of life.
